Winter Adventures
Cooperstown doesn't hibernate in winter; we celebrate the season! Take advantage of the many trails and wide open spaces in our area with some fresh air fun! Snowshoeing and cross country skiing are just some of the activities to enjoy. If you're a beginner or don't feel like bringing your equipment, Mt. Otsego Ski Shop has an array of rentals for your winter adventures. If you're in need of inspiration, Otsego Outdoors is a great resource to start planning your adventures.
One of the hallmarks of winter in America's Most Perfect Village is Cooperstown Winter Carnival. What started in 1967 has become a beloved community tradition and 2021 will be no exception. Next year's week-long event will be held February 16 - 21 and will showcase the fantastic flavors of local restaurants and craft beverage producers, as well as all of the winter fun to be had outdoors.
